to be honest mate you wont notice the difference. You'll only free up a few more horse power, I think 8-10 is being a bit ambitious. I could understand if you already had a heavily modded engine and you needed 2 more bhp to get to 300 or something. I'd always be paranoid they were going to shatter too.

I suppose the less weight the pulleys are on the engine the less strain i doubt youll get much power from it i suppose if you lightened flywheel and have pulleys then it should go up the revs faster
